can-flipping 101
This, this was just pure awesome. On toast.
Zaine and Kal, with Darix in tow for any hauling duties, have gone on a long prowl, far from our usual haunts, in search of dubloons, adventure, and possibly wenches.
And in Oiniken, this is what we found…

Victor Wan > ooh, congrats to him
Fleetadmiral1 > Nope

Victor Wan > or just flip it?
Fleetadmiral1 > I’ve got a couple of 2 years sitting outside the station
Fleetadmiral1 > He made it
Lessa Tar > meh, jetcan mining has risks
Victor Wan > nice
Fleetadmiral1 > Yeah
Victor Wan > very rarely do people actually take it
Fleetadmiral1 > Me and Flamecon/ Relic are sitting outside
Victor Wan > o/ relic and flame
nasaedo > he can dock straight away if he didnt fire back at you
Fleetadmiral1 > Flamecon/Relic are in a battleship and an interseptor
Victor Wan > lol, flame and his septors
Victor Wan > but really, why did you leave that much ore sitting out?
Zaine Maltis > It was probably bait
Zaine Maltis > It didn’t take Flamecon and his Cerb long to turn up after it was lifted….
Kal Ahra > not long, just too long
Miss Opportunity > they could hide at a planet or something and you’d never find them
flamecon921 > I happend to be in my cerb When you happend to flip
Zaine Maltis > Jesus Kal. You are uuugly!
*Nice, thanks for the editorial 
*
flamecon921 > I see nothing wrong with that.
Zaine Maltis > nope nothing wrong with that at all…
Lessa Tar > all this fuss over 50k veld? not even a mil in value…
Darix Lentiri > Made 650k isk
nasaedo > hehehe
Victor Wan > not bad
Darix Lentiri > which wasn’t bad for about 5mins work 
Lessa Tar > no, but it’s not really worth fussing over if you lose it… lost more wasting time chasing you down.
Fleetadmiral1 > Yeah
Darix Lentiri > Secure cans are cheap.
Fleetadmiral1 > WHen you’ve been playing for 6 days it’s alot
Darix Lentiri > Doesn’t your Corp supply them for you?
Lessa Tar > yep, secure containers if you’re that new, if you have friends sitting waiting, get one of them to run a hauler and you won’t have to worry about the can…
Fleetadmiral1 > Quick question
Fleetadmiral1 > Why the hell is CCP protecting that douche?
*hmmm, because my money is as good as yours, maybe?*
Lessa Tar > ah… you must be new here
Fleetadmiral1 > Yeah
Fleetadmiral1 > But why the heck would you protect that?
Fleetadmiral1 > Concord does what again?
Lessa Tar > welcome to eve… where the law is, there is no law
Victor Wan > lol
Victor Wan > its not meant to be safe
Samej Desviado > you get can baited?
Fleetadmiral1 > The Caldari navy does what?
Fleetadmiral1 > I got can jacked lol
Victor Wan > which is totally legit and part of the game
Samej Desviado > ya
Lessa Tar > had he fired on you then he would have been concorded… theft is not a punishable offense
Samej Desviado > train anchoring so it doesn’t happen
Fleetadmiral1 > That’s some bullshit
Lessa Tar > LOL, EVE is a brutal game
Fleetadmiral1 > How would that help me?
Victor Wan > the way to counter it is with secure containers
Samej Desviado > lock your shit retard
alex steele > fleet talk to relic
alex steele > or flamcon
Fleetadmiral1 > He’s afk
Astronagi > or have corp cloaked waiting for a flipper
alex steele > u have to anchor giant secure containers with a password if u wnat to can mine
alex steele > or ppl will jack ur shit
nasaedo > dude if you drop a box full of money on the footpath im going to take it
Victor Wan > ditto
Kal Ahra > yeesh, all these histrionics for 50k veld *goes to buy front row seat for whe Fleetadmiral looses his first ship*
Lessa Tar > word of advice Fleet… trust no one here and don’t count on concorde to protect you… they’re impartial observers at best
Fleetadmiral1 > Lost 3 allready
Fleetadmiral1 > Lol
Fleetadmiral1 > I’ve got relic and flamecon to own this dude
alex steele > jesus
Lessa Tar > hey fleet, had you had drones out and in aggressive mode, they would have attacked him when he flipped your can….
Victor Wan > need to be somewhat self-reliant man
Fleetadmiral1 > lol
Fleetadmiral1 > I’ve been playing 6 days
Lessa Tar > then you would have lost your ship too
Fleetadmiral1 > Nope
Victor Wan > and you just learned an important lesson of eve
Astronagi > fleet … unless you’re traveling with your corp or some friends, get to a quieter area to jetcan mine
Fleetadmiral1 > He would have stayed and fought, flamecon would have warped in and he would get raped
Victor Wan > it rarely goes that way
Fleetadmiral1 > Well this “Would have lost your ship too” wouldn’t work
Victor Wan > can flippers are usually prepared, because thats what they do
Samej Desviado > hes not there to fight, hes there to steal
Fleetadmiral1 > Yeah
Fleetadmiral1 > Fucking gay kid
Fleetadmiral1 > Go mine your own bastard
Kal Ahra > situational awareness meant I knew where Flamecon was, what he was in, and how much time I had to play with. Where was yours when I was flipping your can?
alex steele > situational awarness kal ???? what were u in the military those are big words for most of these kids
Fleetadmiral1 > You didn’t even know he existed until he warped in and you ran like a pansy
Kal Ahra > rofl
Astronagi > did you flip to fight or flip to steal?
Lessa Tar > it’s always rough the first time you get your can flipped…
Darix Lentiri > Kal moved the ore into his can. as he did that, i was warping to him. picked up the loot and docked. I was warping out, and untouchable just as Flame arrived in his cerb. Kal was already aligning and warping…
Fleetadmiral1 > Except normaly you don’t loose 600k isk the first time
Victor Wan > lol
Victor Wan > so you’re exceptional
Kal Ahra > yeah, I was hoping for more. Mine faster, would you?
Fleetadmiral1 > Nope, I’m pissed
Darix Lentiri > Flipped to steal. We’d seen Flame prowling around in his cerb in a few of the belts earlier.
Lessa Tar > LMAO, no, I lost 3mil isk the first time
Astronagi > ah
Lessa Tar > you can fit a lot in a jetcan
Astronagi > I lost 7 … didn’t even sweat it
Fleetadmiral1 > Current wallet = just over 3mil isk
Fleetadmiral1 > 600k isk divided into 3mil isk
Lessa Tar > relax, it happens… take his number, get your skills up and hunt him down later
Fleetadmiral1 > 1/5 of my current net worth
Astronagi > I was 2-3 months old at the time though
Fleetadmiral1 > lol Tar
Darix Lentiri > Did your Corp warn you against Jetcan mining?
Fleetadmiral1 > I’m not taking his number
alex steele > yes
Fleetadmiral1 > My entire corp is
alex steele > they did
Fleetadmiral1 > I’ll be in a battlecruiser a couple of months from now
Victor Wan > lol, relic, is this the new guy you were mentioning?
Fleetadmiral1 > They’ll be in interceptors, battle ships and the like
Lessa Tar > exactly, Fleet, and that’s how the game works
Lessa Tar > but if he stays in high sec your chances of getting him are slim unless you can trick him into firing on you or aggressing you in some way
Harkix > war dec
Lessa Tar > because after 15 minutes, he’s a free man
Fleetadmiral1 > Exactly
Fleetadmiral1 > War dec
Victor Wan > they’d probably love a war dec
Fleetadmiral1 > It’s a 4 man corp
Victor Wan > they don’t get into that line of work unprepared for war
Lessa Tar > there is that, but is it worth the cost of a war dec for a measly 600k?
Harkix > hell yeah
Fleetadmiral1 > It’s the principal
Lessa Tar > what does a war dec cost? 100 mil?
Fleetadmiral1 > Steal my shit and your ass is going down
nasaedo > a wardec cost 50mill
nasaedo > for the first week
Lessa Tar > you going to war dec every little can flipper out there?
Lessa Tar > LOL
Darix Lentiri > A wardec on a corp of 4 each with about 1mill sp. Great idea 
Fleetadmiral1 > That’s the purpose of TD lol
Fleetadmiral1 > Relic has like 1,5 mil lol
Victor Wan > you mean 15mil?
Fleetadmiral1 > Flame is afk
Fleetadmiral1 > 1.5 mil SP
Victor Wan > thats beginner sp
Fleetadmiral1 > maybe it is 15 mil
Darix Lentiri > I’ve got 874k
Fleetadmiral1 > 1.5 million btw
Fleetadmiral1 > mil = million

To this day, no wardec from Admiral Rimmer (as I like to think of him) and chums. Indeed, I saw him in local a few days back, and he’s no longer in the same corp
